“The owners were very welcoming and helpful the area around was beautiful, we could have done with another week with so much to see.”

Mrs Gilbert, Wellington, August 2014

“Loved staying here. It is in an ideal location for travelling to various places and a 5 minute walk at night to bars for meals and drinks. The owners are very nice and helpful and full of advice, it felt like a home from home and we would definitely stay here again.”
